Teodora Armchair by Ettore Sottsass for Vitra, Switzerland, 1987

A rare and highly decorative Teodora armchair designed by Ettore Sottsass for Vitra in 1987. The striking geometric frame is combined with a curved transparent Perspex backrest, while the distinctive graphic pattern gives the chair its unmistakable postmodern character.

A sculptural statement piece and a strong example of Sottsass’s playful and radical approach to furniture design.
